This study observed that frontal fibrosing alopecia in postmenopausal women involves selective follicular inflammation, and finasteride treatment may slow disease progression, suggesting a potential androgen-related component.

This article discusses post-finasteride syndrome as a distinct syndrome related to prolonged use of 5α-steroid reductase inhibitors, noting persistent side effects even after discontinuation and no new research results are reported.

In this study, sensitization to ethylhexyl salicylate was found in 27.3% of patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, suggesting it may be a potential contact allergen for this condition.

This study found that Puerariae Flos extract inhibited testosterone 5α-reductase and promoted hair growth in mouse models, suggesting its potential use for treating androgenic alopecia.

This study found that fisetin, a dietary flavonoid, significantly improved psoriasiform skin lesions in mice by promoting cell differentiation, inhibiting proliferation, and modulating inflammatory responses.

This study found that a newly developed supramolecular FPC hydrogel effectively promotes wound healing through its anti-inflammatory and angiogenic properties, making it a promising material for wilderness first aid due to its storage convenience, sprayability, and ability to speed up wound recovery.

This case report suggests that Post-Finasteride Syndrome may involve a sustained imbalance in gut bacteria, with fermenting and hydrogen sulphide-producing bacteria disrupting hormone and mitochondrial functions.

This review discusses FAERS data on 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and their potential implications for post-finasteride syndrome, but it does not report any new clinical results.

This study found an association between higher phthalate exposure and increased incidence of precocious puberty in girls, suggesting a need to reduce children's exposure to these endocrine disruptors.

In this study, HA-P5, a nanoparticle derived from peptide and polysaccharide conjugation, effectively reduced acne lesions and sebum production by inhibiting specific receptors in cells, without triggering unfavorable reactions compared to a commercial inhibitor, highlighting HA-P5's potential as a novel acne treatment.

The study concluded that poly(propylene carbonate maleate) microspheres effectively encapsulated finasteride, achieving a biphasic release with prolonged drug release over 5-6 weeks in vitro.

In this study, dermatologists from the Spanish Hair and Nail Disorders Group viewed post-finasteride syndrome as rare and primarily of psychiatric origin, with limited scientific evidence supporting its existence.

This case report describes a 26-year-old man who experienced persistent sexual dysfunction and other symptoms for 19 months after stopping finasteride for androgenetic alopecia. The authors highlight post-finasteride syndrome's impact on quality of life and stress the need for careful risk-benefit assessment before prescribing.

This study found that fermented Flammulina velutipes polysaccharides showed higher antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacities than non-fermented ones, suggesting potential use in functional foods and health products.

In this study, severe hair loss occurred in PKC epsilon transgenic mice treated with DFMO during skin tumor prevention, highlighting a link between polyamine biosynthesis, hair follicle maintenance, and metastasis suppression.

This study found that finasteride use is associated with both known and new adverse events, which vary by gender and age, as well as some events not previously listed in the drug insert.

This study found that the bioconjugate nanoparticle HA-P5 significantly alleviated acne and reduced sebum production by inhibiting key signaling pathways without inducing unwanted protein expression that hinders acne treatment.

This study found that biodegradable PLA particles released fluorochromes in a time-dependent manner on human skin, with BP-PLA particles releasing rapidly and DiAsp-PLA particles providing sustained release and accumulation in hair follicles.

This study reported a significant increase in the reporting of sexual dysfunction associated with finasteride use, especially in individuals aged 31-45.

This erratum addresses the long-term effects of finasteride on prostate-specific antigen levels but reports no new research findings.

This paper proposes a novel theory that certain symptoms of Post-Finasteride Syndrome may be caused by an overgrowth of hydrogen sulphide-producing bacteria in the small intestine, which acts as a mitochondrial toxin, with implications for treatment targeting the gut microbiome.

This review article examines the current understanding of frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting its prevalence in different demographics and the roles of genetic and environmental factors in its pathogenesis, while highlighting that treatment approaches remain varied and lack standardization.

This research emphasizes the importance of integrating pre-treatment psychological assessments for individuals considering finasteride, highlighting that these assessments could help identify those prone to nocebo responses, potentially reducing adverse symptom development more related to cognitive vulnerabilities than to the drug itself.

This study found that the 1 mg dose of finasteride was associated with a wide range of adverse effects, including sexual, psychological, and metabolic symptoms, in the FAERS data.

In this study conducted in female mice, maternal Faecalibacterium pathobionts combined with a low-fiber diet increased systemic inflammation and skin problems in offspring, suggesting a link to atopic dermatitis and the influence of dietary trends on chronic conditions.

This review of the Motherisk Program's counseling experience found a scarcity of information on medication safety related to paternal exposure to drugs and chemicals during the peri-conception period, emphasizing the need for further research.

This study aimed to identify characteristics of patients who fail to void during pressure-flow studies, which limits the determination of the cause behind their lower urinary tract symptoms.

This study found that patients with post-finasteride syndrome exhibited major depressive disorder, severe erectile dysfunction, and neuropathy, alongside altered neuroactive steroid levels in cerebrospinal fluid.

This study found that poly(propylene carbonate maleate) microspheres can successfully prolong finasteride release over 42 days, showing potential for long-term sustained drug delivery.

This dissertation investigates how environmental exposures, such as air pollution and endocrine disruptors, impact women's reproductive and gynecological health throughout life, highlighting associations with earlier menarche, decreased ovarian reserve, and increased PCOS risk, and emphasizing healthcare system shortcomings in properly diagnosing these conditions.
